At the Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul in St. Peter’s Basilica, Pope Leo XIV urges the new Metropolitan Archbishops to imitate the two apostles by shepherding the faithful with unity and charity, as they receive the pallia symbolizing their shepherding mission and their commitment to the Gospel.
On the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul, Fr. Marion Nguyen contrasts Paul’s dramatic conversion with Peter’s quieter, costly transformation, showing Peter’s ego collapses only after Jesus meets him with patient, pastoral language. Drawing on Augustine and Cardinal Vanhoye, the piece highlights the 'ordo amoris'—a rightly ordered love—and argues leadership must be rooted in humility, not personal image, a timely critique of today’s ego-driven culture. Readers are invited to embrace a deeper conversion through honesty about our weaknesses to shepherd others faithfully.
